Please make your reservation not later than noon on Monday, May 4. This meeting is not sponsored. There will be a $20 registration fee collected at the door to cover the meal and PPA expenses (please pay by check, if possible). The meal is ordered based on the number of reservations so we ask that members reimburse the Association for a non-cancellation. Cancel not later than Tuesday at noon or you will be charged for the meal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Make your reservations:<\/strong><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/propilots.org\/index.php\/reservations\/\"><strong>Click here to make your reservations<\/strong><\/a><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>MEETING TIMES<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>6:00 p.m. Social<br \/>\n6:30 p.m. Dinner<br \/>\n7:00 p.m. Presentation<\/p>\n<p>See you on May 6, 2026<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Mike Ponzani<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit;\">President, Professional Pilots Association<br \/>\n_________________________________________________________<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/propilots.org\/index.php\/minutes\/\"><strong>View PPA Business Meeting Minutes<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/propilots.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/PPA-2024-Activity-Report.pdf\">View PPA 2024 Activity Report<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n_________________________________________________________<br \/>\nPPA Welcomes our newest members!!!!\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/propilots.org\/index.php\/membership\/new-ppa-members\/\"><strong>Click here to view the list<\/strong><\/a><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong>_________________________________________________________<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/propilots.org\/index.php\/gone-west\/\"><strong>Gone West<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><br \/>\nPPA members who have recently passed. <a href=\"https:\/\/propilots.org\/index.php\/gone-west\/david-j-cencula-ppa-315\/\"><strong>Dave Cencula<\/strong> <\/a>(PPA #315), <a href=\"https:\/\/propilots.org\/index.php\/gone-west\/james-e-holt-ppa-270\/\"><strong>Jim Holt<\/strong><\/a> (PPA #270), <a href=\"https:\/\/propilots.org\/index.php\/gone-west\/james-warren-tippie-ppa-222\/\"><strong>Jim &#8220;Tip&#8221; Tippie<\/strong><\/a> (PPA #222),\u00a0 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/propilots.org\/index.php\/gone-west\/jerry-gene-isbell-ppa-324\/\">Jerry Isbell<\/a><\/strong> (PPA #324),\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/propilots.org\/index.php\/gone-west\/ronald-d-craig\/\"><strong>Ronald Craig<\/strong><\/a> (PPA #171)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"May 2026 Newsletter NEXT PPA MEETING The Professional Pilots Association\u2019s next meeting will be held Wednesday, May 6, 2026 at Lane Aviation, 4389 International Gateway, John Glenn Columbus International Airport, Columbus, Ohio.\u00a0Click here for a map FEATURED SPEAKERS &amp; TOPICS Thomas Betti, Aviation Historian, will <a href=\"http:\/\/propilots.org\/index.php\/events\/monthly-newsletter\/\" title=\"Monthly Newsletter\">[Read More]<\/a>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":13,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"template-full.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-214","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/propilots.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/214","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/propilots.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/propilots.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/propilots.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/propilots.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=214"}],"version-history":[{"count":457,"href":"http:\/\/propilots.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/214\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1501,"href":"http:\/\/propilots.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/214\/revisions\/1501"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/propilots.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/propilots.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=214"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
